Lady on arriving very nice. But private bathroom does not mean en suite it is a separate shower and toilet along corridor which did not look private and needed a good clean. Generally if you want something very basic not fussy about cleanliness and don’t want to spend a lot of money then this place is perfect

Avoid this place
Terrible, can’t say much more. Rooms run down, bathroom dirty and metal fittings rusty. Housekeeping was well below par, bedding not particularly clean. The shower was either very hot or scalding, no real ability to adjust. Breakfast was in an upstairs day room, continental buffet, kettle, microwave, no staff just make your own. The place was originally a nursing home that was inspected in 2011 and deemed unsatisfactory. It would appear it later closed down and is now this hotel, but doesn’t look as though any alterations have been carried out to convert it to a hotel, in fact, the nursing alarms are still on the corridor walls. The ambiance of the hotel felt more like a half way house for recovering drug users. I would avoid this place at all costs, don’t even consider booking a room here, you will regret it. I now it’s cheap but we’ve had some good rooms in low cost hotels, if there was a Travelodge near by we would have used that but we had to location specific as we where helping our son move into his new property. It not as though we have never been before to Cambridge itself as our son has lived here for the past eight years. We’ve stayed in other accommodations in Cambridge and never had any issues. If you do decide to stay, may I suggest at least a bottle of wine before you retire as this will help dull your regrets.

Could do better
There were cans and bottles left in the room, the toilet seat was broken and squashed flies were smeared on the ceiling. The bathroom was so small I had to set sideways on the toilet (I am only 5’ 4”). I could not identify most of the items on the breakfast buffet so just had toast. The only advantages were that the (one) towel and bed linen were clean and the water in the bathroom was hot.

Convenient location for Duxford IWM but other than that this hotel is terrible. The whole property stinks of strong food smells and mold. Dirty everywhere. Very expensive for what you get. It's probably worth 30 pounds a night if that, only slightly better than sleeping on a park bench
